Jesse Winchester, a gifted songwriter and musician, has inspired
many iconic artists of our time. When Jesse was diagnosed with esophageal
cancer last year, Jimmy Buffett and Elvis Costello immediately agreed it would
be a good idea to put together a tribute album as a show of support.

As taken from the album liner notes, written by Bill
Flanagan: “I don't know anyone who dislikes Jesse Winchester's music. It seems
to me that there are only those who love it and those who have never heard it.
Jesse is a songwriter's songwriter, praised by every composer from Dylan down
and covered by greats from Wilson Pickett to the Everly Brothers. Jesse
Winchester's songs are like mirrors in which both performers and listeners can
see themselves.

"At Christmas of 2011 Buffett wrote to Jesse and told him the
album was coming, a gift from a whole bunch of grateful musicians and
songwriters to a master. Jesse expressed his gratitude and had some good news
of his own. He had beaten the odds - after treatment and surgery the doctors
had told him he was cancer free. Soon he returned to the road and as of this
writing is performing again, making up for a lost year. A happy ending all
around.

"This album is a tribute to a great singer/songwriter and
also to the community of musicians who pulled together to show their love and
respect to Jesse when he was down. Now that Jesse is back up, make sure you see
him when he comes to your town. They are not making any more like him,’ says
Bill Flanagan.

“I’m proud of the entire project,” explains executive
producer Mac McNally who is featured on ‘Defying Gravity.’ “We called it a
labor of love before we knew how much labor and love it was going to take, but
I stand by our initial assessment.”
